The recruiter i talked to said what degree I have didn't matter. I think 27 yrs old is the latest you can apply for Officer Candidate School. If you still wanna fly you should talk to a recruiter about it and the Lasik thing!

To fly, you will need a Bach. Degree. You can go to college and go through the ROTC and try to get scholarships and such. You will have to go to college
Another question for the AF guys, I have a slight, VERY slight color deficiency. I counterbalance that with 20/15 vision. Anyone know the rules on the color deficiency thing. I tried contacting the closest AF Officer Recruiting center since it is 2hrs away, NEVER get a response back with left voicemails and e-mails.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the board meets for AFA slots first. ROTC comes last, I think. Yes, you're absolutely going to need a bachelor's degree to become an officer, which is what you have to be to fly. ROTC is the best way in my opinion, because it offers tuition assistance. OTS is much longer and harder. AFA is...well...the AFA, and I won't go there, my good Falcon buddies

hell, I want to fly fighters, but if can't whatever, as long as i can fly. If i went through ROTC and couldn't get a pilot slot, I would try get a spot to work on the planes, next best thing!

Yes to fly a civilion plane you cannot be color blind you can appeal it but nothing really comes out of it. There is a new class of flying out that is sport pilots. very cheap to buy/learn to fly and to maintain. And the best part for people that cant pass medical is that there is none at this point.

And Brownward in Florida, with a nice AA or Delta flow through...
